A TYPICAL DAY AS AN ENGINEERING MANAGER:

First thing in the morning is a one on one with one of your team member. Respecting the maker's schedule
of your teammates you booked those meetings early in the morning, right
after lunch or at the end of the day. That way people can have long
uninterrupted sessions of work. Ideally you prepared this session for it
to be efficient

Right after that, you check any important
mention you got by email, GitHub or Slack, to see if someone needs your
immediate attention or advice on their work

Your team is growing
so you check the recruiting tool to see if there are any good candidate
in the pipe, you will ping the recruiting team if so

It's lunch time!

After
lunch you have a screening call with an engineer for your team, again
you prepared this by making sure to read the candidate profile and being
clear about the current needs in your team

Now it's time to get
some individual contribution. At Algolia depending on the team you are
managing you will spend between 20% and 50% of your time on individual
contributions. Today you'll fix the continuous integration build for
your team to be efficient

After that you have a design meeting
with the product manager of your team where you will spend time together
with another engineer designing a new feature on your product

Now
one of your teammate wants you to review a presentation for a meetup
they will attend, it's nice to be involved in it and be able to make
people grow in different skills

Finally, you start wrapping up
the day by preparing the next day: You have a weekly team meeting where
everyone will update on the status of their projects along with bringing
any discussion wort having as a group

As an engineering manager
you are used to those days sliced in many small events. Context
switching is part of your job and one you are good at, while still being
able to have focused individual contributions when needed
